CONCERT ON HIGH
12th December, 2015

A warm welcome to Sacred Heart Cathedral here in Bendigo.

The title of Sacred Heart for our Cathedral was chosen to capture the ideals of compassion, mercy and love that we see expressed in Jesus.

As his disciples, our community is commitment is to live these ideals in our lives.  This compels us to be a welcoming community to all who come - to offer warmth of friendship and respect each person's dignity, irrespective of their race, colour, culture or creed.

We trust that all who come to this sacred place will experience a deep sense of the peace of Christ, present in this community and abiding in this consecrated place.

I warmly welcome you all this evening to this concert, trusting that it will be an experience of joy and peace.

May God bless you all.

Bishop Leslie Tomlinson
